Caldwell, President s/M. Catherine Roemer, Member ATTEST: s/Angela K. Jacob After approving the extension of the current franchise agreement between the City of South Bend and Heritage Cablevision d/b/a TCI of Michiana to expire on December 31, 1998, Board president, James R. Caldwell and member, M. Catherine Roemer discussed the extension and status of negotiations. Present and available for input was Board attorney, Michelle Engel. Mr. Caldwell recommended that the decision of the Board of Works, which was to be determined on the October 5, 1998 Board of Public Works meeting, be continued, until negotiations of the content of the Agreement are completed. TCI of Michigan has agreed to attend the Mayor Night In sessions. Ms. Engel stated that TCI will offer approximately one hundred (100) channels, but would not say which channels, or if there would be an increase in the cost. Ms. Roemer stated that the Board should advise the public on 1) what the Agreement is at present; 2) the terms the City is asking for in the Agreement 3) what TCI of Michiana will agree upon; 4) what options there may be if the Board does not approve the Agreement; and 5) the length of the Agreement. Discussion was held on what options were available if the Board did not approve the Agreement. Alternatives may mean that the users, of which are approximately 30,000, may not have any cable if the Board does not approve the Agreement. At the present time, no other cable company has come forth to offer their services. The Board determined that Ms. Engel has the knowledge and expertise to determine if the negotiations of the Agreement should be approved by the Board. In the event the decision of the Agreement will be continued, the Board of Public Works and/or the City Attorney's office will issue notice to the public. The Board acknowledged the basis for the franchise agreement and the gains achieved by the City. The franchise agreement between the City and TCI stems from TCI's use of the City streets and sidewalks and general public rights -of -way. The City grants TCI the right to occupy these rights -of - way; and in exchange, TCI provides the following gains already negotiated into the franchise agreement under consideration by the Board: ■ Term. TCI agreed to limit the term of the franchise agreement to 5 years unless it completes an upgrade of its cable system. ■ Rights -of Way. TCI acknowledges and submits to City control and management over its rights -of -way, and agrees to install facilities so as to cause a minimum of interference with the rights -of -way and property owners who own property adjacent to the rights -of -way. ■ When installing new facilities, TCI agreed to file plans with the City Engineering Department and obtain occupancy permits. TCI also agreed to file with the Clerk of the Board of Public Works true and accurate strand maps or plats of all existing and proposed installations of its cable system either on paper or in electronic format 1 1 1 REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 28 1998 compatible with .dwg files. ■ All structures and lines, equipment and connections, located in the public rights -of - way shall at all times be kept and maintained in a same condition and in good order and repair. ■ TCI agreed to promptly replace and restore the rights -of -way to the same condition or better which existed immediately prior to doing work in the right-of-way. ■ TCI agree to relocate, at its expense, its facilities in the rights -or -way, when requested by the City. • TCI agreed to compensate the City for trees and shrubbery it damages when trimming such trees and shrubbery interfering with its system, or replace the trees. TCI also agree to obtain a permit to remove a tree from the Department of Parks Forester. ■ TCI agreed when adding new facilities, underground facilities are preferable to placing additional poles. ■ Customer Service. The Franchise Agreement establishes 1) a complaint procedure for receiving and acting upon and resolving subscriber complaints, and 2) customer service guidelines. ■ Service to public buildings TCI agreed to provide, upon request and without charge, one outlet of basic service to fire stations, the police station and schools located within 150 feet, or 300 aerial feet of its cable system. In addition to the free provision of basic cable service, TCI also agreed to make available production equipment to be used for public, educational and governmental cablecast programming. ■ Schools. TCI agreed to install one outlet for digital service to schools at the rate in effect for residential service, and provide "Cable in the Classroom" subscriptions to schools as long as the program is available. ■ Emergency Use TCI agreed to provide emergency broadcasts for the City in the event it becomes necessary due to a threat to the public. ■ Public Access. TCI agreed to make 1 channel available for public, educational and governmental cablecast programming. ■ Commitment !QN-Pgrade.

TCI agreed to indemnify the City against any liability for damages arising out of TCI's construction, operation or maintenance of its cable system. REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 28.1998 e Enforcement. If after public hearing, the City deternunes TCI is in default of any provision of this franchise agreement, the City may demand TCI comply with the provision; commence an action at law for monetary damages; or, in the case of substantial default of a material provision of the franchise, revoke the franchise. The Board also recognized its limited authority over issues with which many citizens are concerned, such as cable programming and rates, because Congress has made a conscious policy decision in favor of deregulation. With respect to technology, the Cable Act, codified at 47 U.S.C. §521 et seq., specifically dictates that "no State or franchising authority may prohibit, condition, or restrict a cable system's use of any type of subscriber equipment or any transmission technology." Likewise, the City has authority only over TCI's basic rates. And, the City may only ensure TCI's basic rates fall within the FCC's guidelines for the maximum allowable rates.
